It is a common observation, that the more solicitous any people are about dress, the more effeminate they are.

I am very sorry to say that I rejoiced when I once more perceived the towers of Windsor behind me.

These funerals always appear to me the more indecent in a populous city, from the total indifference of the beholders, and the perfect unconcern with which they are beheld.

As I passed along the side walls of Westminster Abbey, I hardly saw any thing but marble monuments of great admirals, but which were all too much loaded with finery and ornaments, to make on me at least, the intended impression.

You see in the streets of London, great and little boys running about in long blue coats, which, like robes, reach quite down to the feet, and little white bands, such as the clergy wear.

On a very gloomy dismal day, just such a one as it ought to be, I went to see Westminster Abbey.
